GlassPoint Solar is a private company founded in 2009 that designs and manufactures solar steam generators that use solar thermal technology to generate steam for enhanced oil recovery (EOR). ==Overview== GlassPoint’s enclosed trough technology encloses lightweight mirrors in a standard agricultural greenhouse, concentrating the sun’s energy to heat water and create steam. The steam is then injected in an oil reservoir to aid the extraction of heavy crude. The company’s solar thermal technology uses trough-shaped mirrors, standard piping and a glasshouse structure. By using the enclosed trough architecture, GlassPoint claims it can produce emission-free steam for two to three times less than competing concentrated solar power technologies, such as the power tower and linear fresnel. The company is based in Fremont, California, with offices in Bakersfield, California, Muscat, Oman, Kuwait City, Kuwait and Shenzhen, China. In December 2012, GlassPoint announced $26 million in Series B financing. Investors in the round included Royal Dutch Shell, RockPort Capital, Nth Power and Chrysalix Energy Venture Capital.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.pehub.com/176909/glasspoint-solar-raises-26m/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=glasspoint-solar-raises-26m )〕 In September 2014, GlassPoint announced $53 million in Series C financing.
